Timeform's Martin Dixon makes the picks on a tough day at Goodwood

Another big day's racing on the Sussex Downs, with the Goodwood Cup taking centre stage.

It's not the most original selection, but I can't help thinking that Age of Aquarius should be an odds-on shot in the main event (15:25) and, for this reason, at around [2.2] he appeals as the best bet of the day on a tough card. He travelled like a dream in the Ascot Gold Cup last month and just failed to see things out over 4f further. Today's drop in trip will be ideal and he's taken to follow in the footsteps of stablemate Yeats in this sphere.

Rewind half an hour and it's an altogether different test in the King George Stakes over 5f. Astrophysical Jet was thoroughly impressive on her first attempt at this trip at Newmarket three weeks ago and is open to further improvement up in class.
